New this semester is a Lightroom photography bundle. You can take all four advanced Lightroom classes--for one low price, or sign up for individual classes. All classes are one hour in length and assume you have a basic understanding of Lightroom (any version). A: Develop Module In-Depth: Tues, Nov 11Dennis Baker Going beyond the basics of Develop module we explore topics include sharpening, HSL controls, noise reduction, soft proofing and other advanced topics. B: Why use Plug-ins with Lightroom: Tues, Nov 18Dennis Baker and Joe Farrell This class is a discussion and demonstration of using plug-ins with Lightroom. Plug-ins are software programs that are designed to work with Lightroom to add a special “look” to your photographs, e.s. a digital border, a painterly effect, a heavenly glow, or any other effect that helps your photograph stand out from the crowd. We will be using plug-ins from NIK Software, but the same concepts apply to plug-ins from other companies, like OnOne Software and Topaz. The integration of Lightroom plug-ins with Photoshop will be explored, but this is not a Photoshop class. C: Processing Photos for Impact: Tues, Nov 25Dennis Baker You’re sitting at your computer, staring at some photos you just took. You’re ready to process the photos—using Lightroom or Picasa, or whatever image editing program, but you’re not sure what to do to make your photos look better. We will show you how to analyze your photographs—to determine what you should do to them to make them better. Some of the factors that will be considered are: composition, exposure, cropping, contrast, highlights, shadows, white balance, tones, color saturation, in- focus and out-of-focus areas. D: Print ModuleWed, Dec 3Joe Farrell This class will guide you through the process of using Lightroom to print your photographs. Topics include soft proofing, aspect ratio cropping, print driver settings, and Lightroom settings. 6:30 to 7:30 pmGalleryAges 15 & Up Questions?

We will discuss: (1) the importance of observing the quality, quantity, and direction of ambient light; (2) when to use flash and when not to use flash; (3) what effect changing the camera’s shutter speed has on the picture; (4) the effective use of modifiers--such as diffusers, reflectors, and “gobo’s;” (5) the effective use of the “bounce flash” technique; (6) how to use “flash exposure compensation” and colored gels to get the light from your flash to blend with the ambient light; (7) reasons why you would want to move your flash off the camera’s hot shoe and how to do it; and (8) what batteries to use in your flash. The techniques presented will apply to cameras that have a built-in flash as well as cameras that use an accessory flash that attaches to the hot shoe.

It is geared for people who have cameras with controls for shutter speed, apertures, and manual modes. We will explain and demonstrate how to: (1) show motion by panning, (2) photograph water so that it looks like it is flowing smoothly, (3) get the whole scene sharp and in-focus, (4) capture action shots in poor light, and (5) take photos of birds in flight. Capturing these types of photographs requires the right camera settings, correct camera-handling techniques, and—perhaps most importantly—the ability to visualize the image. This class will take place on two evenings (at The Art Center) and one Saturday (field trip).
